\"AmericanAmerican Robin in the mountains \u2013 Nikon D500, f6.3, 1\/2500, ISO 1600, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I am sharing a simple photo of an American Robin perched on a wooden fence high in the Wasatch Mountains that I took photos of two days ago. I see American Robins all year long here in northern Utah and I enjoy photographing them whenever I find them in my viewfinder. Up close or far away I’d know these thrushes anywhere.<\/p>\n

These robins are as American as apple pie and the 4th of July but aren’t only found in the U.S., they are also found in Canada and Mexico and there are times I wonder why they weren’t named Red-breasted Robins instead of American Robins because their red breasts are pretty flashy.<\/p>\n

Some people think of these robins as harbingers of Spring, I don’t but I understand why people in northern climates do.<\/p>\n

I’m seeing more birds in the mountains now and that quickens my pulse. I’m looking forward to photographing warblers and other birds I find at higher elevations again.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good. Stay safe.<\/p>\n
